EPA Official Takes Heat for Comments

More regulations only lead to less job creation—an ultimate failure. It is good to have clean air rules, but targeting industries that provide affordable energy and create good paying jobs is a travesty —Jeff Elijah via Facebook

I sent him [EPA regional administrator Al Armendariz] an email asking him if his children know that he talks about crucifying businesspeople. Shame on him. —Joe Pickett via FreeEnterprise.com

It is amazing how deluded members of the present administration are. —Dennis Anderson via Facebook

This nitwit is a barrel of chuckles. Now he has joined the ranks of the unemployed and deservedly so. —Phil Divver via FreeEnterprise.com

The EPA was never intended to be this powerful or political. I say let’s sunset [the entire agency]. —Ernest Boggs via Facebook

Health Care

How about a bill that only helps people who have no access to coverage? No changes that interrupt or impact or tinker with existing policies or companies with coverage for employees. If the government wants to provide free health care for us, let them start with the uninsured and leave the rest of us alone. —Stacy via FreeEnterprise.com

This piece of legislation needs to be repealed. Most of Congress voted on this without taking the time to read it and get to know what was included. Now they’re too ashamed to admit that they voted on something when they didnt know what they were voting on.—George Childs via Facebook

We do need to take care of our citizens. Unfortunately, Obamacare doesn’t really do that. —Sternberg via FreeEnterprise.com

No such thing as free health care. Someone is paying—it’s just a question of who and how.—Dale Lovell via Facebook

Let’s hope the Supreme Court will find Obamacare unconstitutional. The law was written like a riddle so no one could decipher it.—Weso365 via FreeEnterprise.com

Taxes

If taxes go up on businesses, the increased cost of their goods or services is passed on to the buying public. When the price of fuel goes up, we not only have to absorb that increase in our budget when we fill up the car but also the increase in all goods or materials transported. That results in increased costs to business, which are then also passed on to us. Then the new health care-mandated insurance cost heaped on top of that will add insult to injury. So no matter how you cut it, the ones who will be impacted most by these changes are the middle and lower class or folks on fixed incomes. —ShawnCollapse via FreeEnterprise.com

I don’t care how you do it. Simplifying the tax code to 30 pages or less would really be a stride in the right direction. —Robert Gafford  via Facebook

With this tax code, regulations, and unions, who in their right mind wants to do business in this country. —James Damron via Facebook
